1. Open your kit slowly and take care not to dam-age any parts of the kit. Remove all parts from their plastic protective covers for inspection. Before doing any assembly it is recommended that the windshield be removed. This will aid in assembling the model. This item will be rein-stalled when the rest of the model is finished. Using a Phillips screw driver remove the wind-shield from the fuselage as shown below.

Removing Windshield

1. Go over all seams and glue joints with thin CA, this will ensure your model lasts for many sea-sons to come.

Note: Even if you can visibly see glue on all glue

joints it is still recommended that the joints be reglued. Due to changes in humidity during the life of the aircraft glue joints can separate, it is always recommended that the glue joints be checked before each flying session.

Checking Glue Joints

2. Use thin CA to reglue any accessible glue joint as shown below.

1. Check each control surface to ensure that the hinges are securely glued in place. It is also rec-ommended that this be done after each flying session. If a loose hinge is found, please contact Aeroworks for further instructions.

Checking Hinges

1. Two Window hangars have been provided with your 100cc Carbon Cub SS. These hangars can be used to hold the windows in the up position while working on the airplane.

Window Hangars

3. Slide the hook portion of the hangar over the bottom edge of the window.

4. The straight portion of the hangar will be placed inside the fuse through the aileron/flap extension access hole as shown.

2. The window hangar will be placed on the win-dow and through the cutout in the fuse side as shown.

1. Before starting any assembly or installation of any decals it is very important to re-shrink or re-tighten the already applied covering. Due to the shipping process, heat and humidity changes from different climates, the covering may be-come lose and wrinkle in the sun. If you take the time to re-tighten the covering, you will be re-warded with a long lasting beautifully covered model.

TIGHTENING AND RE-SHRINKING THE COVERING

2. Using your covering iron with a soft sock, gently apply pressure and rub in the covering. If any bubbles occur, your iron may be to hot. Reduce heat and work slowly.

3. If bubbles persist, use a small pin to punch holes in the bubble to relieve trapped air and reheat.

4. DO NOT use a heat gun near the side windows. Heat applied directly to these surfaces will cause the material to deform and bubble.

Aeroworks is not responsible for heat related damage to windows/windshield

therefore, will not replace any parts damaged by excessive heat.

1. Go over all seams and color overlaps with your sealing iron.

Note: Even if your models covering has no wrin-kles out of the box it is still very important to go over all seams and overlaps to make certain they are sealed securely. This is especially important at the leading edges of the wings and stabs. We recom-mend checking the covering after each flying ses-sion.

CHECKING SEAMS AND COLOR OVERLAPS FOR GOOD SEAL

2. Use your covering iron to ensure all edges, seams, and color overlaps are securely sealed.

3. Go over all hinge gaps ensure there are no wrinkles. Excessive wrinkles in the hinge line can cause binding and or damage the covering.

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the purchaser /

operator to check the covering seams and overlaps for security and a good seal.

Aeroworks is not responsible for failure of covering seams or overlaps during flight.

Note: If covering continues to lift apply a small amount of thin CA underneath the covering. Then using a clean rag apply pressure to secure.

One of the most important tools in your

flight box is a roll of clear tape. This can be used at the field for fast and easy repairs of the covering. Then once you have finished flying the covering can be permanently repaired.

Center of Gravity Warning, DO NOT skip this step!

1. The recommended CG is (7”)

back from the wing leading edge at the wing tip of the wing as shown.

Note: During the test flights we found 7” to be the optimal C.G. location.

CENTER OF GRAVITY - CONTROL THROWS

2. Balance the Cub without fuel in the tank with the batteries installed and READY TO FLY. The engine, radio, servos, and batteries you use will determine the final weight and locations of equipment. Try to balance the model by moving the batteries and receiver before adding any bal-last.

3. Start at recommended CG until you are com-fortable with the flight characteristics of the aircraft. You may find this a bit nose heavy at first but that is fine to start with. After you are comfortable adjust the CG to suit your flying style in small steps, especially when shifting the CG toward the tail. Move the battery or add small stick on weights to the nose or tail as necessary.

Note: If additional nose weight is necessary we rec-

ommend moving the engine forward slightly by adding extra spacer or washers to move the C.G. forward. Try this before adding an addi-tional weight.

Control Throws 1. The amount of control throw should be adjusted

using mechanical means as much as possible and then electronically with the radio. The control throws are shown in degrees and inches of deflec-tion measured at the widest point of the control surface for both low and high rates.

2. Use the supplied flight control deflection meter to measure the throws in degrees. Prop up the tail of the aircraft until the fuselage is parallel to the table top.

3. Use the widest part of the aileron/flap to measure the aileron/flap throw in degrees or inches.

4. Use the widest part of the elevator to measure the elevator throw in degrees or inches.

5. Gather the Rudder Deflection Meter (Supplied) and scotch tape.

6. Slide the deflection meter under the rudder boost tab.

Preflight Checks

Center of Gravity: Check CG is set properly. Engine: The engine should run smoothly at all

throttle settings with smooth transition from idle to full throttle without stalling or hesita-tion. Do not fly an unreliable engine. Read engine instructions including break in and tun-ing completely.

Prop balancing: Ensure prop is properly balanced

prior to mounting on engine.

Flight Controls: Ensure all flight controls are free from binding and are centered. Check that all hinges are tight and will not pull out. Control linkages must be rigid and tight and have no slop. Confirm proper direction of ai-lerons, rudder, and elevator. Experienced fly-ers have lost airplanes due to reversed ailer-ons. Right roll is right up, left down. Left roll is left up, right down.

Batteries: Transmitter, ignition and receiver bat-

teries are fully charged.

Fasteners: Check all engine bolts, wing bolts, hatch bolts, servo screws, control horn bolts, wheel collars, and clevis keepers are tight and secure.

Covering: Check all covering and seams are

sealed and secure. Radio: Check trims set to neutral and controls

centered. Check rate and condition switches set properly. Check the receiver antenna is fully extended and not reversed on it self.

Range check: Do a range check with and without

the engine running in accordance with the ra-dio manufacturer instructions. If there is in-sufficient range or a large reduction with the engine running, do not fly until it is resolved!

Fuel: Fill the fuel tank before each flight.
